    This document discusses media manipulative techniques and provides examples. It begins by asking questions to activate prior knowledge about why opinions can build artificial realities and why people can be easily manipulated. It then [1] explores different types of media manipulation through a gallery of photos, identifying techniques like fearmongering, emotional manipulation, and lying. Next, it [2] suggests algorithms for resisting media manipulation, such as calculating manipulation, analyzing information critically, and translating complex language into simple concepts. Finally, it [3] outlines a fact checker's guide to manipulated video, identifying three main categories of altered video: footage taken out of context, deceptively edited clips, or deliberately altered recordings.

    UNIT 10

    MEDIA MANIPULATIVE TECHNIQUES

    PART 1. ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

    Answer the questions:


    1. Why is it important to have several opinions?
    Opinion is not fact, but gathering enough opinion builds an artificial reality on the
    subject with the person not knowing the answer to those around him who also have
    settled on the same artificial reality about the subject. If fact is known or capable of
    being known, then that fact is the reality for that subject, and those who know that
    fact have a reality with each other and can help to increase their reality with others
    who know not that fact on that subject.
    2. Why can people be easily manipulated?
    Many people tend to take others at their word and tend to trust others to behave in
    the same moral manner as themselves. Therefore when a person is not naturally
    manipulative and have learned healthy strategies to get their needs met they will
    give benefit of the doubt that others hold the same core moral values and standards
    as them.
    3. What types of manipulations come to your mind?

    Ex. 3a. Explore the gallery of photos and identify the main ways of media manipulation.
    Suggest one word that best describes the effect.

    Slides Effect

    Slide 1 Using fear to control another person.

    Slide 2 Passive-aggression. Sarcasm.

    Slide 3 Using fear to control another person.

    Slide 4 Passive-aggression. Using intense emotional connection to control


    another person’s behavior. Sarcasm.

    Slide 5 Using intense emotional connection to control another person’s


    behavior. Sarcasm.

    Slide 6 Lying and denial. Sarcasm.

    Slide 7 Silent treatment. Hyperbole and generalization. Sarcasm.

    Slide 8 Hyperbole and generalization.

    Slide 9 Hyperbole and generalization.

    Slide 10 Using intense emotional connection to control another person’s


    behavior.

    Ex. 3b. Brainstorm the algorithms of how to defeat manipulation in the media.
    Think of your own Filter stages of how to resist the manipulation in the media:
    1. First of all, you need to calculate the manipulation.
    2. I analyze all the information that is offered to me. I find contradictions and inconsistencies in
    it.
    3. Having received the message, I will try to retell it to myself, using my own categories and
    concepts. I will translate everything that the manipulator has piled up into simple, tangible
    images: life, a child, bread, milk. Because the manipulator uses complex language to outsmart
    me.

    PART 2. PROVIDING AND ENCOURAGING OUTPUT

    The Fact Checker’s guide to manipulated video

    The Internet is increasingly populated with false and misleading videos. These videos —
    spread by politicians, advocacy groups and everyday users — are viewed by millions. The Fact
    Checker (the column of the Washington Post, online edition) set out to develop a universal
    language to label manipulated video and hold creators and sharers of this misinformation
    accountable. We have found three main ways video is being altered: footage taken out of
    context, deceptively edited or deliberately altered. These categories are further broken down into
    subcategories, which are shown below.
